It is dark grey, not black.

And of course the highlight the light interior, which will not be available at launch. Come on guys.

Interested. Let me know if the other guy falls through

20s all day. Like you said, way more options - and that matters for long term cost of ownership and flexibility. There's a lot of R1 owners with 21s who wish they had gotten the 20s or 22s instead. BTW, o one here has experience with the 20s vs 21s on the R2. Check back in 4-5 months once...

Nice. Manufacturer plates though, so still not an employee delivery. We've yet to see any in the wild yet.

Unless it doesn't have manufacturer plates, we still dont know if its an employee delivery.

Have the same issue. I've asked Rivian to investigate and recalibrate but they said its within operating parameters and there was nothing to fix. I have no hard data to back this but I think it could be related to the issue of the camera being slightly off center the vehicle. Its also using...

I just learned that Rivian switched its battery chemistry (non-LFP) from NMC to NCA? Did anyone else know this? I recall them mentioning a change in packaging some time ago that helped improve range but had no idea it was more than that. Does the higher energy density explain the performance...

Catalina Cove is very nice. Which is the only problem because so many people are going to pick this color.

There are trade offs for any platform: EV, ICE, hybrid, plugin hybrid, EREV. EREVs are a growing segment in China, so they’ve shown it can work and it popular, and are a great option in more rural locations or where charging infrastructure is limited. That’s the use case for me, extended road...

Utility, fun to drive, power, speed, comfort, tech, good looks.

They didn’t put lockers in the R1 so there was little to no expectation it would be in the R2. The quad motors were designed to provide power/torque at each wheel. In certain scenarios this is superior to lockers but in others mechanical lockers win. The R2 is not built as a true offroader so no...

Since there is already another block party scheduled for those dates in Miami, that’s means the vehicles will need to be split across two locations or they have more vehicles ready for show and tell.

Did you ask or check to see if any of the R2 had a built in air compressor? I'm assuming no since not a single person who has seen the vehicle has mentioned it. Bit of a shame since its supposed to be an offroad vehicle.

Highly doubt the R2 will fit a full size spare in the tire compartment. I've see hitch carrier, roof rack or just stored in the back with tie downs.

Its good looking but a bit too Barney for me.

So was it a validation build he was testing or he was an employee who purchased his own R2?

What was the wear on the drivers seat, what work did you have done and how much did it cost?

Totally agree. People are too hung up on range. Sure 350 is better than 250 but for daily driving range is irrelevant. And when you need to drive any significant distance, charge speed, and specifically sustained peak charge speed, is more important than range because you almost never charge to...
